Cohort function summary
Lead sentence per gene, UniProt-curated.
| Symbol | Protein name | Function (lead sentence) |
|---|---|---|
| CELSR1 | Cadherin EGF LAG seven-pass G-type receptor 1 | Receptor that may have an important role in cell/cell signaling during nervous system formation. |
| FZD6 | Frizzled-6 | Receptor for Wnt proteins. |
| MYBBP1A | Myb-binding protein 1A | May activate or repress transcription via interactions with sequence specific DNA-binding proteins. |
| RYR1 | Ryanodine receptor 1 | Cytosolic calcium-activated calcium channel that mediates the release of Ca(2+) from the sarcoplasmic reticulum into the cytosol and thereby plays a key role in triggering muscle contraction following depolarization of T-tubules. |
| RYR3 | Ryanodine receptor 3 | Cytosolic calcium-activated calcium channel that mediates the release of Ca(2+) from the sarcoplasmic reticulum into the cytoplasm in muscle and thereby plays a role in triggering muscle contraction. |
| CCNH | Cyclin-H | Regulates CDK7, the catalytic subunit of the CDK-activating kinase (CAK) enzymatic complex. |
| SLC30A5 | Proton-coupled zinc antiporter SLC30A5 | Together with SLC30A6 forms a functional proton-coupled zinc ion antiporter mediating zinc entry into the lumen of organelles along the secretory pathway. |
| CHRNA1 | Acetylcholine receptor subunit alpha | Upon acetylcholine binding, the AChR responds by an extensive change in conformation that affects all subunits and leads to opening of an ion-conducting channel across the plasma membrane. |
| FLVCR2 | Choline/ethanolamine transporter FLVCR2 | Choline uniporter that specifically mediates choline uptake at the blood-brain-barrier. |
| PIEZO1 | Piezo-type mechanosensitive ion channel component 1 | Pore-forming subunit of the mechanosensitive non-specific cation Piezo channel required for rapidly adapting mechanically activated (MA) currents and has a key role in sensing touch and tactile pain. |
| SLC26A3 | Chloride anion exchanger | Mediates chloride-bicarbonate exchange with a chloride bicarbonate stoichiometry of 2:1 in the intestinal epithelia. |
| MYO18A | Putative TGFB1-induced anti-apoptotic factor 1 | Inhibits the cytotoxic effects of TNF and overexpressed TNF receptor adapters TRADD, FADD, and RIPK1. |
| FOXP3 | Forkhead box protein P3 | Transcriptional regulator which is crucial for the development and inhibitory function of regulatory T-cells (Treg). |
| L1CAM | Neural cell adhesion molecule L1 | Neural cell adhesion molecule involved in the dynamics of cell adhesion and in the generation of transmembrane signals at tyrosine kinase receptors. |
| RAPSN | 43 kDa receptor-associated protein of the synapse | Postsynaptic protein required for clustering of nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChRs) at the neuromuscular junction. |

Chemical tractability of cohort targets
30 approved/phased compounds have measured bioactivity against a cohort gene (and aren’t yet in disease-level trials). This is a research / tractability signal, NOT a therapeutic recommendation — a bioactivity row often reflects off-target or screening binding (e.g. promiscuous kinase inhibitors against a cohort kinase), implying no disease mechanism.
